Who We Are

Aakar is a hybrid social enterprise that enables women to produce and distribute affordable, high-quality, 100% compostable sanitary napkins within their communities while simultaneously raising awareness and sensitization of menstrual hygiene management

Through the Aakar model we endeavor to break the silence around the issue of Menstrual Hygiene and provide knowledge and guidance to all stakeholders, especially Adolescent girls.

In 2013, Aakar became India’s first company to launch a 100% compostable sanitary pad under the brand name “Anandi”
